One drawback of many networking events is the inability to meet everyone in the room. For example, I recently had the opportunity to attend a leadership seminar with approximately 150 people, and I only had the pleasure of meeting about a dozen people.

High speed networking offers an interesting solution. Sponsored by Networking for Professionals, High Speed Networking Miami is a two-hour event where people can talk one-on-one with other professionals for a few minutes at a time. Cost of admission is $20 for members, $30 for non-members, or $35 at the door, and Happy Hour specials are available. If you have more than 100 friends on Facebook, you can also take advantage of a special offer for a free ticket: Facebook offer.

Upcoming High Speed Networking Miami events will take place on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 and Wednesday, September 29, 2010.  The events will be held at Gordon Biersch in Miami.
